Abstract

This paper is a study on the jesuitic antimachiavellism, especially about Ribadeneyra, Bellarmino and Gracián. The main argumet is the paradigm of the mediation, that makes possible to the Societas Jesu, at the begenning of Modern Age, a relation between machiavellism, notwithstanding the condamnation, and his mission in the saeculum.
